For the first time in its twelve
year history the New Partners for Smart Growth Conference is coming to Kansas
City. This is one of the preeminent smart growth conferences in the country.
The conference will bring together 1,200 elected officials, planners,
government officials, developers, and neighborhood leaders to lift up what is
working around the country. Topics range from urban gardens, to walkable
neighborhoods, to equitable development, to new GIS and visualization tools.

The conference is February 7-9,
2013, with a decidedly Midwest flavor. Check out the full schedule and
registration information in this brochure.
